Event Coverage: T.A.S.R 2010

On Sunday July 11th I attended the charity Tuners Against Street Racing show and shine for the third year in a row. This year to switch things up a bit I entered with Team JH instead of Team Toronto Mazda 3 and we were able to take home best team award which was pretty cool.

Like previous years the event went off fairly well considering mother nature decided to cool us down in the middle of the day with a quick thunderstorm.

I got to catch up and shoot the breeze with a bunch of old/new friends which is pretty much all I ask for from an event.

Amusing things

Cheap laughs are sometimes the best type…

This was on a heavily modified SolsticeWhat if you do both?

I.C.E

This Audiobahn wall was in a Nitro from New YorkThe back end of the Nitro, DJ hero anyone?OG Nintendo power pistol > ThoseThis was hard to shoot, but this MR2 hd a nice clean A/V setup hiding in there

Superlite Coupe

Never seen one of these before so I had to do some research online to learn a bit more about it. I like what I learned sounds like a fun kit to build and drive.

Looks like it belongs on a race trackOne of 2 cars sitting on CCWs at the showA little disappointed I never got to see it run

JRP Jetta

This Jetta may or may not have changed from last year but I noticed a few things this year that I had not before, mainly the sub placment

I really didn't mind the sponsor sticker placementI liked what they did with the CF hood alsoI wonder how imaging is with a set up like this

Minitrucks

I took it easy on the Mini Truck pictures at T.A.S.R since I will be at Scrape By The Lake this weekend and will be coming back with lots of mini truck photos

Body dropped first gen s10This second gen s10 was also very clean

Nissans

Small showing of Nissan’s but quality none the less

The Sentra SE-R was on my car short list for awhile the 6 speed is enticingThis Skyline took home some hardwareOne of the awards he took home was best motor

Subaru’s

Small but competitive Subaru class this year

This WRX owner was reppin Team JH as wellThis car took home elite Subaru and won a photo shoot with Elle Marie Photography sponsored by myselfHis engine bay was freshly redone and included polished components along with a tuck and shaveSo nice.

905 Rides

The 905 rides crew came out pretty hard to T.A.S.R and took home a bunch of awards, and for good reason here are two rides they brought out that really caught my eye

This Infiniti had some pretty nice fitment along with a clean exteriorHere's a closer look at the tuck and the dishThis Probe blew me away, I've not seen one in years and never have I seen one this cleanThe owner said he couldn't find anyone else rocking wheels this wide on a Probe

Mazda’s

Mazda 3’s pretty well dominated the Mazda portion of the show thanks to Team JH and Team Toronto Mazda 3 but there were a few others as well.
